Owner's Response: Thank you so very much for taking the time to give us this fabulous review - of course I wholeheartedly agree with all you say - but then I am biased😁
I think it really does give future guests that little bit of extra confidence to come and stay at The Old Cider Press.
You have been a pleasure to deal with and I truly hope to have you, your family or friends stay with us in the future.

Stunning cottage with excellent amenities perfectly located in the heart of the Cotswolds

We were blown away with the beauty of the Cider Press cottage with all the magnificent character you would expect of a traditional English thatched house. Living and bedroom areas were spacious with modern quality amenities. The weather on our trip was sunny and beautiful (July 2018) and we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden surrounded by colourful cottage garden plants, butterflies and birds. The location of the cottage in the beautiful small village of Stanton was idyllic and only a short distance from the larger village of Broadway. Communication with the property owner - Anne, was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Many Regards - Syd, Diane and Ashlea - Brisbane, Australia.

Amazing Cottage

Owner's Response: Thank you so much - you don't get much better than "amazing" - I know this was your first trip to the UK from the States and I am delighted that the OCP has played it's part in making your trip a memorable (and a little magical) one.
You were a delight to deal with.

Wonderful accommodations in a very peaceful village

The Old Cider Press property is a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, well furnished and the amenities were very good - including good wifi and television service. The location is also a plus as the village is very peaceful and close to other towns with needed services.

Time to change the sign..................

This was our 5th visit to The Old Cider Press so that in itself must tell you how much we love the place.

My children have grown up staying here. My son is now tall enough to have to duck under the beam a couple of paces from the stairs. He swears blind it has been put there in the past 12 months and hasn't been there since the property was built around 300 years ago.

Since our last visit, my wife was so impressed with the toaster at the Old Cider Press we've bought the same one as we really need a bagel setting I'm told.

There's a sign in the kitchen saying 'Dinner is ready when the smoke alarm goes off'. This year I managed to make a full cooked breakfast each morning without setting it off. Granted not dinner, but still an improvement.

This place is stunning.

Wifi fabulous. BT TV package including sport channels very handy. The owners have spent money on buying the best electrical goods which is very rare in holiday cottages.

OK the mobile reception isn't great - but that's a real bonus if you want a break from work and with the Wifi being so good there's also a way people can get hold of you.

If it's available. Book it.

If it's not, change your dates!

Owner's Response: WOW and thank you for this amazing review.
We do the best we can to make our cottage "more" than the run of the mill holiday cottage rental and it is good to know that we are hitting the mark.
It is always heartwarming to see guests returning (and in your case, year after year) what greater endorsement could we receive.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this review - and we hope you have many more enjoyable holidays in The Old Cider Press.

Stanton is probably one of the prettiest and most idyllic villages in the whole of the Cotswolds (AONB). Little changed in 300 years it nestles beneath the slopes of Shenbarrow Hill. It has a very pleasing long main street with several delightful corners where the ancient houses are built in typical Cotswolds style with steeply pitched gables, mullioned windows and glowing honey coloured limestone walls.

Copy and paste the link to see what 'The Telegraph' has to say about Stanton

The village boasts two magnificent manor houses as well as a restored medieval cross and a church dating back to the Norman period.

There are numerous lovely walks including the famous Cotswold Way – which traverses for 100 miles between Chipping Campden and Bath goes through Stanton. We also have a cricket ground where the local villages compete regularly throughout the summer.

The Mount Inn pub/restaurant stands on a hill at the top of the village with spectacular views across the Vale of Evesham towards the Malvern Hills & even the Black Welsh mountains beyond. On a summer's evening it is the most perfect spot to watch the sunset & enjoy a pint of Donnington Brewery's finest ale.

The Guild House in Stanton runs many courses and 'quiet days' - well worth a visit.
